Talk:Cut-to-length logging

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Unit costs

Can someone explain the reference to higher costs associated with CTL on large scale clear cuts. It seems counter intuitive to me. The Boy that time forgot 21:16, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

The statement says higher 'capital costs'. Earlier the article writes of these forwarders costing a million dollars a pop, and if it takes a fleet of them to handle the job, that is real money.

shovels for shovel logging sell for half a million, and are more efficient where there is 'space to swing'. Forwarders are best suited for selective logging, thinning etc. of small logs.Rvannatta 14:38, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
